Double French Lilac
French Lilac, ‘President Grevy’ is a stunning French hybrid lilac known for its abundant, fragrant double blooms in a rich lavender-blue hue. Blooming in late spring, this heirloom variety features large, showy flower panicles that attract pollinators and make excellent cut flowers. Its lush, heart-shaped green foliage provides beautiful contrast, and its upright, multi-stemmed growth habit makes it a standout in hedges, borders, or as a focal point in the garden.

French Lilac 'President Grevy'
Planting Instructions: Easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun. Tolerates light shade, but best bloom is in full sun. Prefers rich, moist, neutral soils. Needs good air circulation. Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. Set the plant in place so the crown (part of the plant where the root meets the stem) is about 1-2 inches below the soil surface. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly. The Lilac transplants easily.
